Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Servings: 12-16Comments: What a lovely cake to serve at an afternoon tea or at a mid-day brunch. The Cream Cheese Frosting is optional, but I think the cake slices look so pretty topped with the frosting and for an extra touch, sprinkle shredded orange peel over the top for an attrative presentation.

Instructions In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in vanilla and confectioners' sugar until mixture reaches spreading consistency. Chill frosting in refrigerator while cake cools. Once cake has cooled completely, spread over top of cake.
